3:56:09 Ch. 12 - This is good but I don't have the slightest idea where it's going.

Paige - I'm not loving it, but I'm close to-. At this point it depends on how it will end, I feel like it could be 5 stars or barely 4 stars. There's a lot of potential, little to no lulls, and enough information that you are successfully sucked in with only a vague idea of what's actually going on. Perfect for quick suspense with low risks of the reader solving it before the reveals.

Page 22 of 328 Nina - The prologue was a bomb and so far this is great. Just the right amount of domesticated drama with suspenseful undertones. Something isn't right here. 😁

2:45:32 *8 minutes into Ch. 14 - Okay, okay! After that review, Victoria is my people.

2:28:49 Ch. 13 - I want to like this but it's just okay.

8:34:16 Ch 32 Amy-Rose (incorrectly titled Ch. 28 Helen) - This story is still dull. Honestly, it's like a Wishbone episode. I appreciate what the author is trying to do but the execution is off. The man John is inspired by is older by 20 years, so the idea of the father being a freed slave doesn't add up. The story is set 45 years after the 13th Amendment, William is celebrating his 25th wedding anniversary and is s

1:22:22 Ch. 7 - This woman is legit crazy yet highly reliable and that scares me. It's not that funny to me, but I'm willing to see where it goes.

3:42:26 Ch. 16 Oliva - The chapters are off and these people are boring. This story is like ab libs. There are 4 girls who all have the same problems, just fill in the blanks to give them two LIs and a set of parental goals vs their wants. It's the same script with a different cast in rotation chapters. I don't like any of these guys or girls they are all 2 dimensional and the history seems very inaccurate and there

1:38:56 Ch. 8 Ruby - So far the story is passable. I'm not in or out, I'm still waiting. I don't know why the publisher thought it was a good idea to compare it to Bridgerton at this point they don't have anything in common other than a sister looking for a husband, another sister in a book, and a bestie hiding dwindling finances.

7:48:20 Ch. 17 - I can't believe I was this close to the end when I decided I needed a break from this book. As soon as I use the sleep timer the climax happens so now I have to go back and finish. At this point I am torn between "I am so glad all 3 of these books were released the same day" and "I don't know if I see this drag-on for 3 books." We'll see, I'm taking that break after all.

2:32:17 Ch. 5 - I don't know how to process this. It's beyond shady.

31:14 Ch. 2 - I'm missing something. This book is like The Host or that town in A Wrinkle in Time, but the way it's presented I'm going to have to reread this chapter, I understood it but the anachronism near the end threw me off. Maybe I should just accept it and move on. I just don't want this to be like The Host or The Runaway Jury where clarity hits me a couple of chapters in and then I want restart the book.

4:10:45 Ch. 21 - At this point, I'm mostly continuing to find out why she was ghosted. You'd think she'd know by now but nope. I don't find this story realistic. There was a new wrinkle before Ch. 13 that prevented me from abandoning the story, I was very close.

2:21:22 Ch. 11 - I refuse to believe a 13-year-old wrote that. I am trying hard to relate to this character but I don't find any of this funny and her insecurities are becoming annoying. Either get serious or do something funny, but the whining has to stop.

1:14:49 Ch. 5 - It was just starting to get good but I know better than to go down that rabbit hole. Lights out for now. I'm looking forward to the next chapter. Something about this format reminds me of The Wife Between Us.

41:38 Ch. 3 - Very daytime soap opera. Not a fan. Moving in for now.

2:18:37 Ch. 7 - Everything in me is telling me to quit this book, but the cover is too cute. I have to at least make it to filming. I like HGTV plots.

2:13:31 Ch. 19 - The narrator's voice is a bit annoying for the ex. Everyone in this book is on my nerves, even the little boy.

1:46:28 Ch. 6 Mineral Overload - We finally got into the more interesting information.

48:08 Ch. 5 - I barely even know what's going on anymore.

1:16:38 Ch. 4 Renal Metabolic Acidosis - Still in science class, this book does a good job of breaking down information scientifically and translating it into layman's terms, however it is very boring and I think some of the information was unrelated to the topic of the book.

1:34:28 Ch. 5 The Best Way to Start a New Habit - This is good. Maybe I should have read this sooner.

41:40 Ch. 2 How Habits Change Your Identity - This book has been on my TBR list for years, it always has a long line and I wasn't eager to get in it. I saw it available on Hoopla and snagged it. Now I feel like I need the print to go with it, but those lines are even longer. It's very good so far.

25:59 Ch. 2 - I was thrown off by them using 2 female narrators. This isn't what I expected. I assume this was about home renovations, not Hollywood, bored already.

3:23:10 Ch. 10 - I have given up fighting sleep. I'm going to bed I may go back a few chapters in the morning.

1:21:11 Ch. 5 - The story is simple and comforting, like a coloring book. However, her portrayal of military assignments and pay is crazy. The family doesn't get any of their income if they are on a remote overseas, for over 2 years! 🙄
